Mentoring Programme

If you like to mentor children, you can consider volunteering as a mentor to at-risk children aged nine to 11 years from low-income families. Volunteers help provide social and emotional support to them besides helping to inculcate the discipline of daily study and homework, develop character and impart life skills to them. The volunteers also share valuable experiences and values with them - the future useful citizens of Singapore. This programme contributes to intergenerational integration.

Volunteers mentor at 10 primary schools including:

  • Anderson Primary School
  • Gongshang Primary School
  • Greenridge Primary School
  • MacPherson Primary School
  • Poi Ching Primary School
  • Punggol Primary School
  • Xinghua Primary School
  • Yio Chu Kang Primary School
  • Unity Primary School
  • Tampines North Primary School

The mentoring programme is structured.
